The man made his name with Moscato, and channeled that success into becoming one of the leading Piedmontese producers of all. Yes, Giorgio Rivetti is as captivating as he is driven and talented, and possesses a wealth of top vineyards in Barbaresco, Barolo and even Tuscany, all under the umbrella of La Spinetta.

La Spinetta

His wines are as ebullient as Giorgio, a man always with a smile on his face, seemingly. La Spinetta's wines are never too stern, always full of grace and a lush charm. Giorgio has somehow found the successful bridge between age-worthy and pleasurable, even with Nebbiolo, which we have stated openly is often a grape requiring much patience. You won't have to work too hard to find pleasure in his wines, though, as evidenced in wines like "Pin" - Giorgio's nickname to his friends - a beautiful and timeless blend of Barbera and Nebbiolo - a gorgeous wine of succulent red fruits and savory hints showcasing the best of each varietal.

The 2006 Barbaresco Vigneto Gallina opens with sexy, super-ripe aromas that continue on to the palate, where the wine reveals a gorgeous core of ripe red fruit. This is an especially elegant Gallina with tons of length and a finessed close. The 2006 Gallina will be hard to resist in its youth, but in a few years’ time the tannins should soften a touch, bringing the wine into even better balance. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2021.
